wherever they meet you see in miniature
what the map of Maine discloses in mag
nitude "a ragged, tattered, boulder
strewn coast, wooded, followed, scanned
with bays and dotted with islands
that suggest the debris following some
prehistoric CONFUSION of nature. At
the first glance Bar Harbor, the principal
place on Mt. Desert, seems like collec-
ton of tinder-box hotels all but showed
into the sea by the forward pressing foot
of verdant, sky reaching pile of rock
called Green Mountain. Yet you will
find when you become habitant of the
place that the mountain has big foot
bigger than the feet that Chicago twits
the St. Louis girls about-and that there
is plenty of room for scores of fisher
folks to have gotten rich by selling their
holdings to city cottage builders, and
that the drive or precipitous railroad

foot to the crest of Green Mountain and
it is said to be more nearly perpendic-
ular triumph of track laying than the rail
road to the top of Mount Washington. The
journey from the village to the railroad,
including delightful voyage by steamer
across Eagle lake, is one not to be missed,
even for the sake of a blackboard ride,
and on top of the mountain is cosy little
hotel for those who hunger for sunrises
and views of passing thunderstorms and
all that sort of thing.
Mt. Deserts attractions include an In
dian encampment, and every one goes to
it, of course; but the Indians are not at all
of the athletic, graceful sort that Feni-
more Cooper clothed in poetry. They
are lot of Penobscot half-breeds who
have devoted long and indolent lives to
overcharging white folk for worthless
nick-nacks. Some of them are consider
ably more like "white folks" than In
dams in speech, features, dress and man
ners ; but why criticise them since they
form one of the sights of the place?
The Maine or prohibitory law obtains
here, but really to no more purpose than
elsewhere-that is, it puts the poor to
some trouble to get intoxicants, but does
not annoy the rich. There are places

jaunt to the mountain heights, near as
they seem, is very considerable one.
Although the journey has been mate
rally shortened since the recent days
when all the visitors here had to come by
stage-coach from Bangor, it still remains
long ride to the pleasures of this iso-
lated rendezvous. The improved rail
road facilities now make it possible to
leave Boston in the forenoon and sup at
Bar Harbor in the evening, but the
scenery repays you. Particularly along
the coast after leaving Bangor, it is very
grand and beautiful. Not only is there
no beach at this most curious of all coast
resorts, but even if there was, bathing
would be unpopular, for the water is too
chilly even in dog-days. l can almost
hear the knowing readers sigh of re-
lief as he reads this, particularly if he

Just as much of the humorous character

get all you want and whatever you wish
to drink, but at prohibition prices
Wine is to be seen here and there on the
hotel tables at meal-times and you are
likely to be informed that those who
drink it brought it from the city by the
case. Yet If you forget that formality
you need not go without wine. Copying
from the fashionables at Lenox, Mass,
the ladies of Bar Harbor have formed a
club and established quarters for them
selves. As this indicates, there is strong
admixture of what is called exclusive
society at the Harbor, but life at the ho-
tells, which are mere overgrown boarding
houses, is open to all, and even the high
est rates are moderate if compared with
the ordinary tariff at the principal water
resorts. JULIAN RALPH.

BOHEMIANS OF OLD.
The Difference Between the Writers of
To-day and Their Predecessors.

To-day and Their Predecessors.
The humor, in fact, of the era in which
Henry Mayhem flourished and Punch was
started pretty accurately reflected the tone
and habits OF the literary Bohemians who
were its principal producers. They lived in an
age of transition, when Grub street was still
in process of development into Fleet street,
and the position of the journeyman penmen
of the periodical press still in some measure
resembled the position of the more ancient
tribe of booksellers hacks. They were, it
may be admitted, good deal better off in
many respects than their predecessors. Their
existence by no means fulfilled all the con-
ditions of misery and squalor enumerated by
Macaulay in celebrated passage. They did
not usually inhabit garrets four stories high,
or dine at four-penny ordinaries with foot
men out of place, or sleep on bulks in June
and amid the ashes of a glass house in De-
cember, or die in the workhouse or rot in
the Mount Scoundrel of the fleet. But they
were not unacquainted with the pawn shop
and the sponging-house. They affected
cheap lodgings in the neighborhood of
Tottenham Court road and the British
Museum; they were practiced in the feat of
shooting the moon, as obligingly explained
by Jack Johnson to Mr.. Ledbury; they
banqueted in the tavern hall, and disdained
not simple steak, a pot of porter and a clay
pipe. beer anu gin were WIN Jnem exceed
ingly in request, and, combined in the re-
freshing form of dogs nose," supplied
recognized source of timely and happy in
spiration. They lived from hand to mouth
au jour, lie jour, and, as the poet sings, ''the
modest wants of every day, the toll of every
day supplied" For the world and its fine
people and fine doings they entertained the
most sovereign contempt. But on the whole
although habitually out of elbows and often
drunk, they were not dissatisfied with their
lot. All this is now changed, and 1.-The mob
of gentlemen who write with ease' are do
mesticated among the great, and bask in the
smiles of an enlightened and admiring aris-
tocracy. 1t is theirs to boast with Mr.. St.
Barbe that cabinet ministers are their famil-
lars and that ambassadors are hand and
glove with them. They know nothing of
dogs nose' or clay pipes; they have de-
serted the tavern for the club; they are seen
at the opera in the Row. and their names
adorn the columns of the Morning Post
They have their shooting boxes and their
hunting boxes and their yachts, their steeds,
and their equipages. But although they are
vastly more ''genteeI' in every way than the
Bohemians of old, it Is a question whether
their work is as strong, as honest, or any
thing like as original as that of their rough
and-ready predecessors used to bel ndon

A Curious Clock.

A clock recently patented in France is in
imitation of tambourine, on the parch-
ment head of which is painted a circle of
flowers, corresponding to the hour figures of
ordinary dlals. On examination two bees,
one large and the other small, are discOv-
cred crawling among the flowers. The small
bee runs rapidly from one flower to another,
completing the circle in an hour, while the
large one takes twelve hours to complete the
circle. The parchment is unbroken, and the
bees simply laid upon it, but two magnets
connected with the clockwork inside the
tambourine move just under the membrane,

DOGS IN THE GERMAN ARMY.
They Are Used by the Military Authorities
as Messengers and Sentries.


The experiments which have for some
time been going ON in the German army, to
test the utility of dogs in warfare, have on
the whole been successful. The ancients
used dogs for actual fighting purposes; the
Germans are content to use them as mes
sengers and sentries. Ten or dozen dogs
have been attached to the Twelfth Battalion
Of Light Infantry, at present in garrison at
Schwerin. They have been placed princi-
pally upon picket duty. Hastily penciled
notes are fastened to their collars; and the
experiments have shown that they are
usually carried speedily to the rear: At
night the dogs are found useful in giving
early notice, by their barking, Of the ap,,
proach of strangers. A considerable period
of training is obviously necessary before
even the most intelligent dog will learn to
dash off at the word of command to the
main body of troops, which may be a mile
or more away; but if sufficient number of
dogs can be taught to do this, there can be
no doubt that canine messenger service will
be valuable addition to the means of COM
munication upon the battlefield.

ANIMAL SURGERY.
A Pet Chipmunk Heals Himself of an In

The children of James Wainwright, at No.

of its fore feet by becoming entanged in a
strand of thread. The inflammation of the
foot attracted the attention of Mr.. Vain
wright, who found that the thread was wound
around the member. He cut the thread off.
but the wound did not heal, and in few
days the flesh dropped off and left the bone
exposed. The little animal went to work and
did "A most remarkable thing. He bit off or
amputated the foot at what would correspond
to the wrist joint. In the course of a few days
the bone still remained uncovered, because no
provision had been made for flap of the
flesh to cover it. The chipmunk then dis
played a wonderful knowledge of surgery.
With his nose he turned back the flesh so
that it projected beyond the bone. In two
weeks it had healed up, and looks as perfect
as if surgeon had done the work.-Saa

missive, If OF conducive, of hearty exer-
else, hearty dining and all the rest All
these conjectures are correct. 1t Is
cool and active place where one cannot
help but forget the perspiration of city
life in summer and will be certain to sleep
well and to eat ravenously, not of French
courses, though, or of dishes produced
by rare inventive genius, for all the cooks
of Mt. Desert are humble souls who
prepare modest dishes in unambitious
shapes. But let not that worry any one.
Hunger makes the plainest meal feast
and in Mt. Desert one has three feasts a
day and wishes for more.
The water furnishes a great deal of
exercise there, though there is no bath
ing. Canoeing is one of the great diver
sions of the idlers there, and 1t is pur-
sued in real Indian birch-bark canoes, of
which there seems to be a myriad, pro-
durable at much less cost than it after
ward requires to manage them, for they
are very "teetery," and are best ma
n9uvred when one is upon his knees, with
nothing but his paddle to keep him and
the boat right side up. Padding is soon
learned; it is only knack, quickly
caught, that gives the arm the graceful,
persuasive motion that looks so mys-
FERROUS to novice. Once learned, it surely
is great extension of your happiness to
find yourself guiding load of pretty
young womanhood on the blue water or
to idle, all by yourself, along the shore to
the rocks that every afternoon are
plenteously and beauteously sprinkled
with pretty maidens in couples, or with
their beaux, fitted costly in the hooks
and crannies that, with their opened
umbrellas, hide them from every point
of observation except that which you
beheld them from-the water. Canoeing
is good fun and good exercise, besides

more boarding houses, 1t Is
easy to imagine that there must be a
great many young couples under their
roofs. They play tennis, go canoeing,
take blackboard rides, enjoy long walks
and mountain climbing, dance, lounge
on the rocks, swarm down to the evening
boat to get the mail, and altogether
dominate the place. But of late there
has been rapid development of the
cottage element at the Harbor. Cottages,
grand, odd, small, costly, cheap and of
all sorts, are now multiplying on the rustic
avenues behind the hotels and higher up
on the eminences at the foot of Green
Mountain. Here the married folks,
whether young or not, are establishing a
semi-fashiOnable, wholly social existence,
replete with parties, dinners, hops, ex-
cursions and all the fads and elegances
of more or less pretentious Incidence
| The most famous and interesting of
these summer domiciles is the large and
picturesque house that the Hon. James
&. Blaine has just finished and hopes to
rest in for many summers to come Its
architecture is melange of the pictur-
esque features of several schools and
periods, and from the outside it seems to
abound in quantity shaped chambers,
gable rooms, and unexpected hooks
and corners. The Vanderbilts, of New
York, rent very pretty summer
seat near by, and fill it every summer,
but the most costly and the prettiest
OF the cottages chance to belong to per-
sons whose names are not familiar to the
public.
The distinctive feature of life in Bar
Harbor is the universally of "the buck
board" there. Buckboards are sort of
vehicle due to Yankee genius and con-
structed of spring board, or perhaps
two, with seats upon it and wheels and
axles underneath. You can get buck
boards with one seat for two persons, or
with two or four or six seats, each wild e
enough for three, and in con-
sequence you can enjoy ride
on one with as many as a
dozen or eighteen persons if
